This simple recipe for homemade caramel apple cider is sure to warm up your day!  We packed this in insulated mugs and took it with us on a drive to look at Christmas lights.

Caramel Apple Cider Recipe

• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 cups apple cider or apple juice
• 1/2 cup water
• whipped cream (optional)

Bring the cream and brown sugar to a boil in a medium sauce pan.  Stir in the apple juice and water.  Heat just until the cider begins to steam.  Divide into four mugs and top with whipped cream, if desired.

I first saw this recipe in Family Fun over 6 years ago!  We’ve been enjoying it every winter since.
